Every night the same dream, the screams, the smell. I often wonder if i will ever escape it, but the truth is do i really want to?. Would escaping it not mean i have come to accept the part i played? Their worth degraded?. I am glad for Alyssa, since she joined with me the fires have stopped. Can't go setting the building on fire by mistake, not this building anyway i might be unemployed. I should write back to the temple and let them know how things are going. House Darius has been very accommodating, providing me with a place to live, food and employment. My first suggestion went over well, i am glad they are finding me useful here. Fingal is a bit racist but a pretty nice guy, not bad looking either. He is trying very hard to change and i can respect that, we even made an agreement involving fire should he revert. Oth and Jadoth are great to, Oth is pretty fun and accommodating, he seems uninterested in sharing his past however so i will have to do some investigation. Jadoth is a bit odd but kind-hearted and slightly gullible, his hair only makes me slightly jealous.
Then there is the star sapphire. Should the impurities not hold me back? or decrease my interest?. Yet i don't care, in-fact just the opposite the impurities add to the beauty. I have never been a gem person before, why now i wonder? or is it just this particular gem?. I don't know how to approach this especially as this star sapphire is someone else's. Perhaps i should forget about the gem, but every encounter makes that less likely. I really need to make more friends, a few girlfriends to talk about this sort of thing would be nice. Maybe i can just put a dress on Oth, That might do?.[/parchment]
Included with the journal page are a few very small gems, opaque deep blue with white six-pointed stars on the surface. How they stay attached is a mystery.
